Wayne the Grip is a grip for The Krusty the Clown Show.
History[edit]
Wayne the Grip was at a recording of Talking Krusty when Krusty's aunt Sadie was a guest on the podcast. Krusty arrived at the recording with his aunt but then asked who Wayne and Jodie were. Sideshow Mel told Krusty that they had been crew on his show since day one. Sadie was shocked to discover that Krusty didn't know any of his "work family" and had never attended any events with them.
After a recording of The Problem Is You, Krusty approached Wayne to talk. Wayne panicked about Krusty knowing his name and begged Krusty not to fire him, explaining that he needed to support his stepson's illegal street racing habit. Krusty told him to relax and tried to be friendly. Wayne then invited Krusty to a crawfish boil he was hosting for the crew that weekend.
That weekend, Krusty drove three hours to Wayne's house for the crawfish boil. When a football landed near him, Krusty threw it back to the man who asked for it but accidentally hit the crawfish pot, causing it to spill over and break the swimming pool, which had kids in it. Krusty was then invited to try out a homemade ATV, built by Wayne's stepson's stepson out of boat parts, which had no brakes or safety features. Krusty got into an accident on the ATV, injuring himself.
During the filming of the season finale reunion of The Problem Is You, Krusty told the camera that he wasn't the problem and shouldn't have tried to form human connections with the people who worked for him. Wayne then said he always knew Krusty was a phony, and he and Jodie went to rub their butts on Krusty's sushi.
